In anticipation of the brewery's opening later this month, Snowbank Brewing will debut its beers Thursday at Cranknstein, 215-B N. College Ave.

The craft brewery at 225 N. Lemay Ave., Suite 1, will open by the end of August, said owner and general manager Dave Rosso.

For the preopening beer release beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday at the coffee house, Rosso is bringing two or three of Snowbank's first brews. He said he didn't want to give anything away about the beers prior to the event.
